Now that you’ve perfected stove-popped popcorn, here is another more yummy recipe for National Popcorn Poppin’ month!
Popcorn Caramel Apples
1 quart popped popcorn
1 (9.5 oz.) package caramels, unwrapped (35 caramels)
¼ cup light cream or ‘half and half’
4 lollipop sticks (or wooden candy apple sticks)
4 apples
½ cup
chocolate chips
Sugar sprinkles
Decorative ribbon, optional
- Place popcorn in a large bowl; set aside. Place a sheet of waxed paper on
work surface. - Heat caramels and cream in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat. Stir
frequently until caramels are melted and cream is blended into caramels. - Push a stick into an apple center and dip into caramel. Spoon caramel over
apple to coat completely. Place caramel–coated apple into bowl of popcorn and
press popcorn onto caramel to cover completely. Place apple on waxed paper to
set; repeat with remaining apples. - Place chocolate chips in a small, resealable plastic bag. Microwave 10
seconds and press chips to aid melting. Repeat, heating at 10-second intervals,
until chips are completely melted. Cut a small corner off bag and squeeze
chocolate onto each apple allowing chocolate to drip down sides. Sprinkle with
sugar sprinkles. - Tie a bow to each apple stick, if desired. To serve, cut apple into slices.
